virginia - part four

Sunday morning we made plans to meet the Vetrovec Family at Maymont Park. It is a HUGE, free park, full of animals and gardens that is absolutely beautiful.. We couldn't have asked for better weather either...



First we got to see some horses....



Then, we passed through a butterfly garden, which the kids adored! David even got the name of the plant that was attracting some, and we hope to plan some in our backyard...there were butterflies EVERYWHERE!








The kids had lots of fun and were such troopers - there was a lot of walking involved!


Of course, every chance we got, we lined up the cousins for photoshoots....


There were tons of birds, including owls, vultures, and eagles, many of which were injured and rescued to live at Maymont...



Another photo op!


And another....


There was a beautiful Chinese garden with a lily pond and waterfall...the kids were so excited abuot walking across the stepping stones....



And Elise enjoyed posing for a picture for her Daddy...



We loved Maymont!
Now it was time to go home and rest up, because the brave Logan and John were having everyone over to their house tonight for dinner!
